Do you repair all major appliance brands? (Appliance repair faqs)
We work on most major residential appliance brands. We are not a manufacturer-authorized service center. Is your appliance still under a manufacturer warranty? Check with the manufacturer first. Warranty repairs often have to go through their own network.
How soon can someone come out?
Availability depends on the day and your location in the Conyers area. Call or request service online and we’ll give you the soonest appointment we have.
How much will the repair cost?
It depends on the appliance, the part needed, and the labor involved. A technician diagnoses the issue first. You then get a firm quote before any repair work begins, so the cost is clear upfront.
Do I need to be home for the appointment?
Yes, an adult needs to be there. They let the technician in, answer questions about the problem, and approve the quote before work starts.
What if the appliance can’t be repaired?
Sometimes a repair is not practical. That is usually down to the appliance’s age, or the cost of parts against its value. The technician will say so, and you can weigh repair against replacement.
Do you offer any guarantee on repairs?
Ask your technician about warranty coverage on parts and labor when you book. Terms can vary by the type of repair.

How far in advance should I book a repair?
For non-urgent issues, scheduling a few days out is usually straightforward, especially if your schedule is flexible on timing. Is your appliance showing an urgent warning sign, like a burning smell or an active leak? Mention that when you call. Those situations usually get the next available opening rather than the standard queue.
Do I need to be home for the entire appointment?
An adult needs to be present. They let the technician in, describe the problem, and approve the quote once the diagnosis is done. Beyond that, you do not need to supervise the whole visit. It helps to stay reachable, though. The technician may have a question partway through, or find something unexpected.
What payment methods do you accept?
Ask about payment methods when you book. Options can include cards, checks, or digital payment, depending on current office policy. Payment is typically collected after the repair is complete and you’ve confirmed the appliance is working properly.
Will I be charged if I decide not to go through with the repair?
Most appliance repair companies charge a diagnostic or service-call fee for the visit itself. That applies whether or not you move forward. The fee covers the technician’s time and travel. Ask whether that fee is credited toward the repair cost if you proceed. Many companies apply it as a credit rather than charging it on top.
What if the technician can’t fix it the same day?
Sometimes a needed part is not on the service vehicle. The technician then completes the diagnosis, explains what is needed, and schedules a follow-up once the part arrives. You usually get a general timeframe for the part at that point. The follow-up visit is often quicker, because the diagnosis is already done.
Can you work on appliances in a rental or managed property?
Yes. Tenants should check their lease first, then get approval from the owner or management company. That matters most when the owner is expected to cover the cost. Having the owner’s contact information on hand can speed up the booking process since some repairs need authorization from the person responsible for the bill before work can begin.
How long does a typical repair take from start to finish?
A single-visit repair, where the needed part is on the service vehicle, typically takes somewhere between 45 minutes and two hours depending on the complexity of the repair and how accessible the part is. If a part needs to be ordered, the total timeline extends to include the part’s shipping time, but the follow-up visit itself is usually shorter since the diagnosis is already complete.
Should I unplug my appliance before you arrive?
There’s no need to unplug the appliance ahead of time unless you’ve noticed one of the urgent warning signs, like a burning smell or sparking, in which case it’s a good idea to unplug it right away rather than waiting for the appointment. Otherwise, leave it as-is so the technician can observe the problem happening (or confirm it isn’t) as part of the diagnosis.
